My periods are delayed by five days. I have not had unprotected penetrative sex. I took a urine pregnancy test, as advised by a doctor online, and it was negative. What should be the next step?

A 5 day delay in your period with a negative urine pregnancy test and no unprotected penetrative sex is reassuring. Stress, travel, illness, or hormonal fluctuations can cause minor delays in your cycle. It is best to wait for another week, and if your period does not start, repeat a urine pregnancy test for reassurance. If your cycles continue to be irregular, consult your doctor for further evaluation to check thyroid or hormonal levels if needed.

Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

I am under fertility treatment. My last menstrual period was on November 8. I took letrozole from day 2 for 5 days. Follicles developed by day 9 measuring 23 by 17 mm and 21 by 16 mm. Two dominant follicles were there. By day 12 both ruptured. Endometrium thickness was 9 mm. From the next day I started taking Duphaston 10 mg morning and night for 15 days. From that day onwards I have been having spotting. After my 15 days course I stopped Duphaston on December 4. Today is December 12 and almost 9 days are over. My spotting stopped 2 days back but after stopping Duphaston spotting continued for some days. Today I took UPT but it was negative. Is there a possibility to get pregnant in this scenario? It has been 25 days after ovulation. Is it possible to ovulate and have no period or am I pregnant? Kindly clear my doubt and explain in detail about my report. Thank you.

For the past few months, I have been experiencing irregularities in my menstrual cycle, with delays in my periods. This month, I have missed my period entirely. All my blood tests and ultrasound reports are normal.
